Have You Hugged A Fuzzy Today?

Played but waiting

Well, the new cage didn't make it in time to pick up our babies yesterday so we decided to wait to pick them up until the cage does get here which should only be another day or two. If the cage doesn't arrive by tomorrow, the Rescue Shelter director is going to loan us a small one so we can bring them home for the weekend. Here they are:

This is Loki
She is a one year old sable who was picked up as a stray covered in fleas and delivered to a local animal shelter who contacted the Ferret Inn for pickup. Due to her flea infestation, she was severely anemic and needed a blood transfusion from one of the stocky healthy boy ferrets.
She has almost doubled her weight and is so playful and happy!

This is Pinkin (originally named Punkin Pie)
Pinkin is a 1.5 year old cinnamon colored beauty was found in a cage outside on the freezing weather. She was put outside because the mom didn't want the smell in the house and the daughter lost interest. She was surrendered by an acquaintance of the previous owner. The guy who rescued her took her to a vet, but after the vet could not get a blood sample, the vet released her saying she'd have to stay overnight. She was then taken to The Ferret Inn and was unresponsive, severely dehydrated, barely breathing, and with a body temperature so low that the thermometer would not register. She was rushed to a ferret-knowledgeable vet and stayed overnight. Twenty-four hours later, she is conscious and able to move herself. Seeing how this is one of the worst neglect cases the director has seen, we cannot believe that she is alive today.
